Emma Finucane is making history in Glasgow — and she is just getting started. The 23-year-old cyclist from Carmarthen, Wales claimed her third gold medal of the 2024 Commonwealth Games on Saturday, becoming the first Welsh woman ever to win three golds at a single Games. She crossed the line in the women's 1,000-meter time trial, an event making its Commonwealth Games debut this year, stopping the clock at one minute 05.285 seconds — faster than anyone else in the field. "I'm absolutely over the moon," Finucane said after her win. "To do it here in Glasgow, in front of a home crowd, makes it even more special." Team-mate Megan Barker, who usually races longer endurance events, finished a respectable fifth in 1:06.345. Finucane had already won gold in the team sprint on Thursday and repeated the feat in the individual sprint on Friday. The Olympic champion set a pace that left her competitors chasing shadows — her time guaranteed her at least bronze before the final two riders even took their turns. Neither England's Sophie Capewell nor New Zealand's Ellesse Andrews could match her mark. Finucane has one more race at these Games: the women's keirin on Sunday. If she wins that, she will become the most successful Welsh woman in Commonwealth Games history — a title that would cap off a remarkable summer. She has been open about her hunger for more, saying she wants to keep pushing herself and inspiring the next generation of Welsh cyclists. With two more chances to shine on the track, she might just get exactly what she wishes for.
